On Coach, Hayden and Luther were going to play Blackjack at Christine's apartment when Luther spilled the grape juice on the white carpet. :lol: "hit me, hit me, boy are you going to hit me!!!"

On Bewitched, Darrin and Abner Kravitz played cards. That was the episode where the Kravitzes were having a fight and Abner was staying at the Stephens house.

Michael on Good Times could beat everyone at checkers, except I think Penny beat him once. On The Bob Newhart Show, the guys had poker games. So did Tim and his friends on Home Improvement.

I think that was the first episode of the final season of ILL-then; the next season it became THE LUCY-DESI COMEDY HOUR.

In the first season of I Dream of Jeannie, Tony goes to the country club and Jeannie pops in and starts helping Tony practice with the trainer because he isn't a very good golfer. Well, General Peterson sees this and wants Tony to play in the tournament with him, of course Tony is horrible, but when Roger gets Jeannie she comes in and helps him and the results are hilarious. :lol:

In an episode in the second season, Tony and Jeannie play a game of ping-pong which Jeannie calls hubba-toe, and when Jeannie hears the Bellows coming she pops out and Tony appears to be playing alone because Jeannie is invisible. It was really funny. :lol:

In another episode Jeannie wants Tony to relax, so she makes everyday Sunday and one of the things she does to him is pops him onto a tennis court with a professional tennis player. I think his name was Pancho Segru or something like that. Tony was furious with Jeannie when he got back. It was really funny. :lol:

I thought I'd mention that cribbage, a card game, was mentioned on Happy Days by Howard Cunningham and played on The Waltons between John (the father) and Sheriff Ep Bridges. I'm a sucker for cribbage, by the way. :D

So many. Let's see.

King of Queens -- Doug is usually watching some New York sports team, the main one I can remember is the Mets.

Seinfeld -- There is one episode where they leave the Mets game early because I think the Mets were getting beat hard and on the drive home, they find the game is real close so all three, Jerry, Kramer, and George pretend to look at an apartment or something like that so they can watch the end of the game.
There's the episode with Keith Hernandez and the famous spit.
George works for the Yankees and there's the episode where he gets them to change uniform fabrics.
There are other episodes, but these are the clearest in my memory right now.

Boy Meets World -- The Father/Son Softball Game in season 1. They don't show the game, but Cory and Eric weasle their way out of it and then at school that Monday, Topanga tells them how her dad's team won it.
Season 1, Alan wakes Cory up to watch Schilling pitch a no-hitter for the Phillies late one night (I think it was against the Dodgers).

Sabrina the Teenage Witch -- Prelude to a Kiss (Season 4): Sabrina makes plans to watch Harvey play football and help Josh with his homework. Dreama goes to the game with the promise to page Sabrina when/if Harvey gets put in, but Sabrina turns off the pager, forcing Dreama to cover for Sabrina.

Full House --Jesse knows nothing about basketball, but joins Joey and Danny for charity basketball. He gets help from Kareem Abdul-Jabar, not knowing who he was, and then at the end of the game, while his sons are in the bathroom he hits a three-pointer.
Super Bowl Fun Day (Season 8): The Superbowl. DJ has an interview for a college. Joey promised to take Michelle's class on a field trip (Honestly, who schedules this stuff on Superbowl Sunday?). Joey takes the class to the bar, but when the TV is broken, he brings the entire bar home.
Wrong Way Tanner (Season 7): Michelle plays soccer and ends up scoring in the wrong goal.
Nice Guys Finish First (Season 6): Joey plays hockey against an old rival. Jesse is the commentator, but he knows nothing about hockey, so Becky takes over.
In a season 1 episode where Kirk Cameron plays Cousin Steve, they are all outside playing tag football.
Stephanie Plays the Field (Season 4): Stephanie joins the Little League team Danny coaches as the pitcher and has to pitch against her boyfriend's team.

Friends -- There's the episode, I think it's season 1, where the guys go to a hockey game and Ross ends up getting hit with the puck.
Joey thinks the New York Knicks Rule.
